 Current BiologyCoral reefs suffering, but collapse not inevitable, researchers say Coral reefs are in decline, but their collapse can still be avoided with local and global action. That's according to findings reported in the Cell Press journal Current Biology on May 9 based on an analysis that combines the latest science on reef dynamics with the latest climate models.

APS April Meeting 2013First biological evidence of a supernova In fossil remnants of bacteria, researchers of the Technische Universitaet Muenchen (TUM), found a radioactive iron isotope that they trace back to a supernova in our cosmic neighborhood. This is the first proven biological signature of a starburst. An age determination showed that the supernova must have occurred about 2.2 million years ago, roughly around the time when the modern human developed. Contact: Dr. Andreas Battenberg

NatureThe effect of climate change on iceberg production by Greenland glaciers While the impact of climate change on the surface of the Greenland ice sheet has been widely studied, a clear understanding of the key process of iceberg production has eluded researchers for many years. Published in Nature this week, a new study presents a sophisticated computer model that provides a fresh insight into the impact of climate change on the production of icebergs by Greenland glaciers, and reveals that the shape of the ground beneath the ice has a strong effect on its movement.

2013 Geological Society of America Cordilleran Section MeetingLocal geology, global connections: GSA Cordilleran Section to convene in Fresno Geoscientists from western North America and beyond will convene in Fresno, California, USA, on 20 May to celebrate GSA's 125th Anniversary and discuss current geoscience research. This meeting emphasizes the international relevance of Cordilleran geology, with a higher than usual number of non-American presenters for a regional meeting. Topics include tectonic and petrologic processes associated with active plate margins, salmon spawning sites restoration, new regulations for fault rupture hazard zones, and water supply issues.

New robotic instruments to provide real-time data on Gulf of Maine red tide A new robotic sensor deployed by Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Gulf of Maine coastal waters may transform the way red tides or harmful algal blooms are monitored and managed in New England. The instrument was launched at the end of last month, and a second such system will be deployed later this spring. Contact: Media Relations Office

Proceedings of the National Academy of SciencesThe Black Sea is a goldmine of ancient genetic data When Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution marine paleoecologist Marco Coolen was mining through vast amounts of genetic data from the Black Sea sediment record, he was amazed about the variety of past plankton species that left behind their genetic makeup (i.e., the plankton paleome).
